I don't think it's something to be excited about, but it is something that needed to be done. Tallinder is a pretty good defenseman, and I think the Devils are worse off on defense because of this transaction.

I am interested in seeing either Urbom or Gelinas take the next step.

"The Stanley Cup has fallen from the Stars. The new millennium has its first Stanley Cup Champion, and it's the New Jersey Devils." Mike Miller calling the Devils winning the Stanley Cup.

"It goes to the captain and then there are handoffs during a skate around the ice" Mike Emrick as Scott Stevens is being presented the Stanley Cup.

This is not something to get all that excited about. It's a pure salary dump. Tallinder is an NHL caliber defenseman. The Devils gave up a lot more for Zidlicky, a more expensive defenseman that basically was no longer playing for Minnesota at the time of the trade. I would have hoped that Tallinder could be part of a package for something useful, or might be able to get at least a third round draft pick in return.

I suppose getting $3 million off the books for a year and setting a course for stable lineup a defense will help. But ultimately, it was a move out of necessity, which almost always gets you nothing.

im excited cause it might give a shot to one of our young guys who deserves at least a shot at making the team. Without a trade they had no shot at making it for another like 2 years

Why is everyone happy, defense got worse, wish we could keep Tally and dump Sal or Volch. This is just dumping salary with nothing in return. Hopefully Larsson takes the next step and we can re-sign Zid on a good contract.

Good move, need youth in the lineup and he was only playing half the games if that. No need to pay a guy over 3m to be a scratch. Don't think it happens but if they can move Sal or Volchenkov now I would love this offseason.
